HEAT-RADIATING APPARATUS. o

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar, 18 1919;

Application filed December 16, 1918.. Serial No. 266,951.

To all'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES G. WILKIE, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat-Radiating Apparatus, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to apparatus for radiating heat and particularly to apparatus of this class in which an ordinary one, two or three burner gas stove is converted into a heat radiator, and the object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the class specified which is simple in construction and operation and efficient in use, and which may be detachably connected with a gas stove; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in an apparatus of the class and for the purpose specified, constructed and operating as hereinafter described.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of.which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view of a two burner gas stove showing my heat radiator connected therewith; and,

Fig. 2 a partial section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

In the drawing I have illustrated at 5 an ordinary two burner gas stove having a gas supply pipe 6 in which are placed valves 7 and 8, which control the supply of gas to the separate burners of the stove, and the stove 5, in the construction shown, is provided with a raised portion 9 which extends longitudinally of the opposite sides and ends of the stove.

The gas stove may be of any desired form or construction and, in practice, I provide a heat radiator device 10 comprising a main elongated box-shaped body 11 having an enlarged and flanged base portion 12 which fits over the raised portion 9 as clearly shown in the drawing. The main body portion 11 is provided with a reduced and elongated semicircular head portion 13, the side walls of which are provided with a plurality of spaced apertures 14, and secured within the semi-circular head portion 13 is an approximately Vshaped rib 15 which is curved upwardly and outwardly at its sides and ends as shown at 16, and which serves to divide the discharge of the heat through the apertures 14 and to direct the heat outwardly of the opposite sides andends of the head portion 13, as indicated by the arrows w in Fig. 2.

Connected with the rib 15 at spaced intervals are two chains 17 to the bottom of which are connected baflie plates 18, which are located centrally of and above each of the burners of the gas stove 5 so that the heat arising from such burners will strike said bafiie plates and rise in the main body portion 11, as indicated by the arrows of, and pass out through the top 13 of the radiator as hereinbefore set out.

Handle members 19 are also preferably connected with the opposite ends of the rectangular body portion 11 to permit of the placement of the radiator onto and removable from a gas stove.

With my improvement an ordinary gas stove having one or more burners may be quickly converted into a heater or heat radiating apparatus to be used in heating a room or compartment and by reason of the simplicity of the construction of my apparatus, the same may be made at a minimum cost so as to place the article within the reach of even the poorest purchaser.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A heat radiating apparatus for use in connection with gas stoves of the class described, comprising a hollow body portion having a reduced head portion, the walls of the head portion being provided with a plurality of apertures and a Vshaped rib construction arranged centrally and longitudinally of the inner face of said head portion.

2. A heat radiating apparatus for use in connection with gas stoves of the class described, comprising'a main rectangular hollow body portion and an elongated semicircular hollow head portion, said head portion being provided with a plurality of apertures, a substantially Vshaped rib secured to and within said head portion and a baffle plate suspended within the main body portion.

3. A heat radiating apparatus for use in portion, said means being connected with connection With gas stoves of the class desaid rib. scribed, comprising a main rectangular hol- In testimony that I claim the foregoing low body portion having an enlarged base as my invention I have signed my name, in 5 0r,fiange portion and a reduced semi-oircupresence of the subscribing Witnesses, this 15 lar head portion, said head portion being 12th day of December, 1918.
